    Hello fellow travellers!

    Nice setup. I can't wait to learn more.

    What's in your toolbox?

    This is actually a good question. I have been paring down and down and down. Taking an inventory would be a good idea to make sure I haven't taken out anything of major importance.

    What's in your toolbox?

    That actually looks like a low end logic probe. It will function as a test light, albeit an expensive one. Even with DMMs(digital multimeters) make sure they have a minimum of 10 megaohm impedance before trying to use it to test any computer circuit. The standard test light has it's place, I...

    What issues with van sitting for 3-4 years?

    Has it really been sitting for the entire 3-4 years? If sitting the entire time many of your seals will be bad. Your fluids will of course be bad. Tires, belts, hoses, battery all likely bad. Rats chewing the wiring is a real possibility, not to mention rat feces inside the vehicle. Rust will...

    I finally did it!

    $600? Is that just for the install? The engine must be extra.

    archery

    I guess I am just spoiled here in Florida. I used to use my crossbow more than my guns, though I did carry a .357 for back up especially when hunting hogs.

    Roadside Ramblings

    Great post Bitty. Just keep on keeping on. You will get it sorted out sooner or later. I made the same "mistake" by moving into my new project van too soon. I have too much stuff in the way keeping me from doing the remodel work I want to. Oh well, I took a step back and decided to stay in...

    Is pepper spray legal?

    Not true. Each container may only be 2 oz max, but you could hold one in each hand and more in your pockets.  I carry 2 as part of my EDC load out.

    archery

    I have been looking at crossbows. I think it would be both fun to shoot and a sporting way to hunt.

    homemade stove top oven

    Interesting, I was looking for a way to do it on a two burner propane stove.

    Van choice-Well maintained, $900 minivan or ???? ~$2000ish van from Craigslist

    Normally, I would not even consider a FWD minivan, BUT it is a Toyota. IMO, you would be better served by a mid 80s-very early 90s full sized Ford but they are much more rare since cash for clunkers. Give it a shot and best of luck.

    How are Dodge Vans?

    I lived in my 1991 Dodge B250 for over 6 years before selling it to get something with a hightop. It was a good reliable van. I had very few problems. Mainly the main power relay went out a few times, I just kept one in my glove box as back up, and the windshield wipers would stop working due to...

    custom bed

    That's actually pretty cool. I never knew they made cots that wide.

    Here we go again, Spark plugs changed, engine wont start.

    Agreed, generally you get what you pay for.

    Here we go again, Spark plugs changed, engine wont start.

    The easiest way is to put the #1 piston at TDC(top dead center). With the distributor cap off, but the rotor on, remove the #1 spark plug. Slowly rotate the motor by hand; a ratchet on the crank pulley bolt usually works well; until you feel air pressure pushing your finger out of the plug hole...

    You have a 350 Chevy, right? 1992? I thought you sad that, but I am not sure.

    Marijuana and Guns

    I will keep my guns and just avoid the drugs. Still easy to avoid the problem. ;)
